The Bloody Road to Damascus: The Triple Alliance's War on a Sovereign State ~ link ~ Excellent article, please take the time to read it all at the link. Stirling

There is clear and overwhelming evidence that the uprising to
overthrow President Assad of Syria is a violent, power grab led by
foreign-supported fighters who have killed and wounded thousands of
Syrian soldiers, police and civilians, partisans of the government and
its peaceful opposition.

The outrage expressed by politicians in the West and Gulf State and in the mass media, about the ‘killing of peaceful Syrian citizens protesting injustice’ is
cynically designed to cover up the documented reports of violent
seizure of neighborhoods, villages and towns by armed bands, brandishing
machine guns and planting road-side bombs.

The assault on Syria is backed by foreign funds, arms and training.
Due to a lack of domestic support ,however, to be successful, direct
foreign military intervention will be necessary. For this reason a huge
propaganda and diplomatic campaign has been mounted to demonize the
legitimate Syrian government. The goal is to impose a puppet regime and
strengthen Western imperial control in the Middle East. In the short
run, this will further isolate Iran in preparation for a military attack
by Israel and the US and, in the long run, it eliminates another
independent secular regime friendly to China and Russia.

In order to mobilize world support behind this Western, Israeli and
Gulf State-funded power grab, several propaganda ploys have been used to
justify another blatant violation of a country’s sovereignty after
their successful destruction of the secular governments
of Iraq and Libya.

Tens of thousands demand democracy in huge Bahrain protest ~ link ~ And the Bahrain regime has been attacking and brutalizing its people by the thousands. But there is NO CALL from the West against this very real crisis, as opposed to the False Crisis/False Narrative in Syria. The reason is that Bahrain is part of the Triple Alliance (I like this term...I suggest that everyone start using it), that is NATO (US/EU) - Israel - GCC (conservative Arab Gulf monarchies - Gulf Cooperative Council).

"It is the biggest demonstration in the past year. I would say it could
be over 100,000," said a Reuters photographer after protesters filled
up the main Budaiya highway in the area of Diraz and Saar, west of
Manama.

We're Underestimating the Risk of Human Extinction ~ link ~ The Final Battle of the last book of the Bible, Armageddon, is one that will kill 2/3 of the Human Race, and would kill us all but for the return of Jesus Christ Himself. Stirling

Unthinkable as it may be, humanity, every last person, could someday
be wiped from the face of the Earth. We have learned to worry about
asteroids and supervolcanoes, but the more-likely scenario, according to
Nick Bostrom, a professor of philosophy at Oxford, is that we humans
will destroy ourselves.

Bostrom, who directs Oxford's Future of Humanity Institute, has argued
over the course of several papers that human extinction risks are
poorly understood and, worse still, severely underestimated by society. Some of these existential risks are fairly well known,
especially the natural ones. But
others are obscure or even exotic. Most worrying to Bostrom is the
subset of existential risks that arise from human technology, a subset
that he expects to grow in number and potency over the next century.

Pentagon prepares War Plans for Syria~ link ~The statements by Defense Secretary Leon Panetta and Chairman of the
Joint Chiefs of Staff General Martin Dempsey came amid mounting evidence
that Washington and its key European allies, working in conjunction
with the right-wing monarchical regimes in Saudi Arabia and Qatar, are
escalating a covert intervention aimed at bringing about Syrian regime
change.

Much of the media coverage of Wednesday’s hearing focused
on the jingoistic intervention of Arizona’s Senator John McCain, the
former Republican presidential candidate. He is demanding US air strikes
against Syria, to carve out “safe havens” in which Western-backed armed
groups can prepare military strikes against the government of Syrian
President Bashar al-Assad.

Gerald Celente: Nightmare War 'Schemed' to Cover-Up America Collapse~ link ~ Trends Research Institute founder Gerald Celente predicts that a war
with Iran is scheduled to cover up the next leg down to the financial collapse of the U.S. and political upheaval a collapse engenders.
“I’ve been in this business now since 1980, and I’m always marveled
at the schemes undreamed of that they come up with,” Celente told
GoldSeek Radio host Chris Waltzek. “So, when things should collapse,
they often don’t, because they come up with another scheme. So, here’s
the scheme undreamed of that I believe is going to be America’s worst
nightmare, and that’s war with Iran.

Celente continued the discussion with Waltzek by making the eerie
parallel between today’s economic depression, social unrest and
geopolitics with those of the Great Depression, which began with the
Crash of 1929 and ended following the conclusion of WWII.

Iran: Israel's Netanyahu warns attack timing ~ link ~ I have said, since he was an Assistant Minister of Information over 20 years ago, that this joke is the Antichrist that will launch World War III! I still think that I am correct on this. Get right with God folks...it is coming. Stirling

Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu has warned he will not countenance a long delay in launching an attack on Iran's nuclear sites.

He told Israel's Channel 2 station he did not have a
stopwatch, but added: "This is not a matter of days or weeks. It is also
not a matter of years."

Former Mossad chief says Israel should consider alternatives to Iran strike ~ link ~ Let me tell you, Meir Dagan is one tough SOB. He is no pacifist. But he does care for his people/his nation/his tribe. And he knows that a war with Iran is apt to destroy Israel. He is NOT alone in this most former Mossad and other Israeli intelligence chiefs feel the same way. But the nuts in Netanyahu's cabinet are blind to the dangers. Stirling

Meir Dagan, the former head of Mossad, has said Israel must consider
alternatives to a military strike on Iran's nuclear facilities.

The ex-director of the intelligence agency pointed to a need for caution after
Benjamin Netanyahu, Israel's
prime minister, hinted Israel might feel the need to attack.
